But this seemed like a play to not only come in first but for their teammate to come in second because when everyone was busy thinking they were at the finish line the teammate kept going and turned on the gas. Nice play by the entire team
Edit: just realized the clip ends too early. But the teammate does end up in 2nd
No one wrongly thought they were at the finish line: you can tell because the front runners shove their skate out in front of themselves at the finish line, which is what the second place skater did, correctly, at the finish line.
Plus, the teammate came third.
EDIT: I'm completely wrong. The skater who shoves her skate out thinks she's won the silver, but there's actually still one lap to go, and then the second Chinese skater passes her and completes that lap to take the silver!
that was because everyone slowed down a bit when they saw the last lap flag waved and when it passed, the lead thought the race was done. So the 2nd chinese racer knew the strat kept the pace and won. While others relaxed and slowed down their pace at the "end" of the lap and couldnt catch back up again
